I'm struggling with this myself. This is only my second year gardening, and first year trying to start from seeds. Bought two cheap (~$12) heating pads from Wal-Mart, and didn't realize until this morning that they'd shut themselves off, DOH! I did some Googling, and plan to tackle the disabling of the auto-shutoff later this evening, will keep you posted.

UPDATE: Epic fail here....thought I knew which pin to cut, but now have two non-working heating pads. I've ordered two new ones from Amazon, this time getting the Sunbeam 731-500 that doesn't have auto-off. Live and learn.
